“I burn, I pine, I perish.” It seems an odd thing for a high schooler to say in a nineties romcom—at least till you remember this is part of that wave of modern Shakespeare movies like O (2001) and She’s the Man (2006). A breakout role for the late Heath Ledger, 10 Thingsalso stars Julia Stiles, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Larisa Oleynik. When Camero...
Come for Seth Rogen as the hilarious and supportive best friend; stay for Anna Kendrick in the role of Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s lovely therapist, whom he starts seeing after a cancer diagnosis. Screenwriter Will Reiser, Rogen’s real-life buddy, wrote this film after his own experience with cancer, and that lends a raw honesty to the subject. All this...
This charming coming-of-age story from Superbaddirector Greg Mottola stars Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, Martin Starr, and Ryan Reynolds. Set in 1987 to an unbelievable soundtrack—Crowded House, the Replacements, the Cure, Lou Reed, “Rock Me Amadeus”—it follows the summertime woes (and occasional highs) of Eisenberg’s James Brennan, a recent co...
An oddball teen comedy that seems to have inspired Richard Linklater’s career, American Graffiti is George Lucas’s celebration of a youth spent cruising the strip in 1960s Modesto. It’s a beautiful yet unembellished look at what young people get up to when all they’ve got is five bucks, a tank of gas, and a sky full of stars. The result of a challe...
“But Scott, who’s gonna take over the world when I die?” Dr. Evil, Mike Myers’s Ernst Blofeld send-up, asks his son in group therapy. Scott (Seth Green) suggests he might prefer to work at a petting zoo. “An evil petting zoo?” his father asks. The therapist, by the way, is played by a radiant Carrie Fisher—and that’s just one scene you’ve probably ...
These two airheads from animator Mike Judge were a defining presence on MTV in the nineties, haplessly pursuing “chicks” and poking fun at pop culture and music videos. In their feature-length movie, the pair boards a plane to Vegas after a mix-up involving a stolen television and an unsavory fellow voiced by Bruce Willis. It ain’t Shakespeare, but...
This 2009 Blaxploitation flick’s easily one of the funniest films ever made. Martial-arts expert Michael Jai White plays Black Dynamite, a kung-fu master as well as “the best CIA agent that the CIA ever had.” When his police-informant brother gets killed, Dynamite sets off on a mission to clean up the streets and get his revenge. Watch it immediate...
This one-of-a-kind special feels like a virtuoso giving his best, and possibly final, big-stage performance. The film opens with the comedian getting out of bed wearing a clown nose, and a robotic voice-over remarks on the various ways the world “is not funny,” alternating between horrifying facts and humorous counterpoints. Burnham discusses body ...
Olivia Wilde made her directorial debut with this terrific comedy about two BFFs who realize they’ve put too much time into getting ready for college at the expense of their social lives. Beanie Feldstein and Kaitlyn Dever are perfectly cast as Molly and Amy, while Billie Lourd’s free-spirited Gigi is a revelation. If you haven’t seen it yet, this ...
If you’re a fan of comedy, you should see the legendary Caddyshackat least once. From the dancing gopher puppet to the Kenny Loggins theme song, this is a perfect snapshot of mainstream comedy in 1980. The cast features Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, and a 29-year-old Bill Murray, and there are some pretty sublime moments throughout. Watch ‘Caddy...
